Student Life

The college experience wouldn't be complete without UHD's state-of-the-art recreation center, club teams and intramural sports.
All of which allow students to stay in shape, show off their UHD Gator spirit, bond through teamwork and just plain have some fun.

UHD also offers many industry-designed, Graduate Certificates. These certificates are aimed at enhancing knowledge and skills, like the MBA, but are not as in depth as the MBA program.

MBA Program

Team Teaching Every Graduate Certificate Class Looking for balance between having a sufficient theoretical foundation and understanding the practical application of the material? We have the answer: Every one of our Concentration/Graduate Certificate classes in each of our options is team taught by Davies College of Business faculty member and a seasoned industry expert.

The Marilyn Davies College of Business faculty member ensures you have a sound theoretical foundation for the material. The experienced practitioner, or Corporate Fellow, is charged each week with giving members in the class immediate takeaways – something the student can often use in the next week to help them better do their job. Students receive a solid theoretical framework with which to approach the material, but also the all-important ability to see its potential application in the work they do.

Flipping the Class Would you like 24/7 access to critical lecture material? Our students have it. Every one of our Concentration/Graduate Certificate classes is flipped. That is, the Marilyn Davies College of Business faculty member has recorded the key lecture material and made it available to students. Students view the lecture material as a part of the preparation for class, with the ability to review explanations to gain a better understanding. This leaves the critical class time for, perhaps, clarifying an issue or two and focusing on the understanding of the application of the material.

Efficient Use of Students’ Time “Flipping the class” allows us to offer each concentration/graduate certificate class in a compressed hybrid format. All of our Concentration/Graduate Certificate options are designed to be taken one class at a time. This sequential format gives the student the ability to focus on only one class for a shorter time period.

This program is designed to provide a differential competitive advantage. Corporations are viewed as customers. Their input has been used to develop corresponding programs that align with corporate needs.

There are two winners in this process: the working professionals who pursue the program, and the companies who hire
UHD graduates.
